That’s really good! I’m wondering who I’ve annoyed at Bonvoy cos I don’t get targeted promos if I stay all the time and I don’t get any if I have a “dry spell” 😂

I think I must be on some kind of Bonvoy blacklist as I've had nothing but lumps of coal since the integration in 2018.
With SPG I'd get a targeted promo every year without fail. Maybe they saw the comments I wrote on FT about how much I preferred the legacy SPG program to Bonvoy and put me in the "Do Not Target" list

Marriott got me into staying with them starting late 2020 during the pandemic and thought 2021 I always had some sort of targeted promo, even though I was booked into an MB all months except 2 (needed lifetime Centara Plat) From 2022 SOL. 😪.
They got me good!
They got me good!

Hmm, so nobody else got this offer?
I did get some (probably targeted) offers before, like staying twice in Courtyards in Ontario during the first 2 months of the year, would get 2k points extra. We happened to be travelling in Asia and had booked some Marriott stays, so that stays in Ontario was useless.
This is the best offer I got so far, as I'm trying to get lifetime Plat by getting 3 more years of Plat. I'll be well over 50 nights this year and was thinking to shift some nights to my wife. This will allow me to shift more nights to my wife. The problem is changing some bookings to my wife's name may trigger higher price/points. But at least this offer is useful to me. Guess it's not too useful for anyone who's already Lifetime Plat and up (and they probably won't get offer like this)

Why? This just puts huge pressure on hotels with lounges. Lounges that are at bursting and full of Platinum members who barely stay at a Marriott. Usually the most entitled who complain they can’t get a seat and the food isn’t good enough, but they’ll hang around for hours.

I'm not in the US, so don't get Plat by CC. I assume stuartpig was talking about US members.
